Rep. Nick Langworthy announced Chautauqua County has been awarded $143,172 by the Department of Transportation for the Dunkirk airport.

Specifically, the Federal Aviation Administration awarded this grant for the Airport Improvement Program for the design and rehabilitation of Taxiway A West at the Chautauqua County Airport – Dunkirk.

“As the chairman of the House Aviation Safety Caucus, I am pleased that the FAA is investing in small local airports such as the Dunkirk airport,” said Congressman Langworthy. “This funding will be used to ensure that the runways at Dunkirk Airport are of the highest standard – because when it comes to aviation safety, we must ensure the absolute best.”
